Clock: Tom Brady welcomed 500 crowd from Boos from Indianapolis during the introduction of the driver

It seems that Indianapolis still doesn't like the former New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady very much. Brady, who drove Indianapolis 500 in “The Fastest Seat in Sport” before the 2025, was booed on Sunday afternoon during the introduction of the driver.

Brady, today analyst at Fox Sports, was introduced together with the Nascar legend Jimmie Johnson, who will drive the two-seat indycar and the Profo Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan as part of the celebrations before the race.

Brady received the loudest reception, even if it was largely negative.

Although the patriots and the Indianapolis Colts had an emerging feud before the 2000s, the rivalry started when Brady arrived in Neuland and wrote the Colt's Quarterback Peyton Manning. With Brady and Manning, who cited their respective teams, the patriots and colts often crowded after the dominance in the AFC.

Between 2001-10, Brady and Manning met with three post-seeds 12 times during this time. This included two showdowns in the AFC championship game. New England won in 2003 and beat Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII. The Colts won in 2006 and took the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI.

Brady had an 8: 4 record against the Colts led by Manning. Even when Manning went to the Denver Broncos, Brady's personal rivalry continued with the Colts. In fact, things were strengthened in 2015 when Brady and the patriots got involved in the “Deflategate” scheme.

In January 2015, reports appeared in which the patriots deliberately emptied footballs against the Colts at their 2014 AFC championship game. An investigation by the lawyer Ted Wells, which was hired by the NFL, found it “more likely than not” that the patriots dismissed the footballs and that Brady was “at least general” of violations.

Brady initially received a four-game suspension for the 2015 season, but he won an appointment to the US district court, which allowed it in 2015 and led the patriots to victory in Super Bowl 51. He was then suspended the first four games of the 2016 season. The patriots were also fined 1 million US dollars and two selections in the 2016 NFL design.

Brady had an 8-0 record against the Colts after Manning had gone to the Broncos.

Unnecessary to mention that the Indianapolis believers have not forgotten what Brady enforced them.
